Cool Salsa Bilingual Poems on Growing Up Latino in the United States.. (2008). Chicago: Paw Prints.
Cool Salsa is an interesting book of poetry. I did not enjoy this book as much as What Have You Lost? Most of the poems in this book are in English on one page and Spanish on the next page. Since I am not fluent in Spanish, I went through the book quickly since I focused on the English translations. I can see how this would be an interesting book to use in a Spanish class, or for hispanic students. I thought that many of the poems were interesting, but I didn't connect with them as well as I did with the poems in the other poetry book I read.
